Would You Dare to Wear Jeffrey Campbell’s “Skate” Wooden Wedge Heels?

August 6, 2011 • by Jan E

When I spotted the ‘Skate’ from Jeffrey Campbell at Nordstrom I was both delighted and a little confused. I love the architectural details of this edgy cut-out wedge bootie, but it seems a bit too odd to really be wearable.

While I have learned to appreciate shoes that require so much time in designing and creating, I don’t know if I’d actually ever wear these quirky ice skate-inspired heels. The ‘Skate’ comes in six surprisingly neutral color choices which actually help to balance the details and drama of the heel.

Jeffrey Campbell ‘Skate’ in Beige, $189.95

Jeffrey Campbell ‘Skate’ in White, $189.95

Jeffrey Campbell ‘Skate’ in Nude, $189.95

Jeffrey Campbell ‘Skate’ in Black, $189.95

Jeffrey Campbell ‘Skate’ in Black Suede $189.95

Jeffrey Campbell ‘Skate’ in Brown, $189.95

How brave are you? Are you daring enough to sport these ice skate-inspired leather booties? If so, how would you style them? With simple jeans and a T or a more formal dress?
